Chicken Parm

This dish is sure to make many appearances this fall and winter.   I tried it this week and here's what I  love about this recipe:  it took me 10 minutes to put together, everybody ate it, only ONE DISH to do afterwards and it was DELISH!!!  I'm all about a dinner I can put together during the kids' naps and still have time to play on facebook!  Check out the blog I got it from to watch the video of how to make it - http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/02/end-of-chicken-parmesan-as-you-know-it.html


To make this quick and easy chicken parm dish:

put about 2 tbsp EEOV in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish with some garlic and crushed red pepper flakes.    Place chicken breast in the dish.  (I used 4 large breasts and cut them in half).   Then, cover with out 2/3 of a jar of spaghetti sauce.   Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.  On top of the cheese.... GARLIC CROUTONS! I used a 5 oz bag and then a little more from another bag, but 5 oz would be plenty - I just like lots of crunch!   Top the croutons with another cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup parm. cheese.  Pop that in a 350 degree oven for about 40 - 60 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts, my halved breasts took about 45 minutes.)    The result:  crunchy top and flavorful chicken.  Serve it over some spaghetti and its an easy dinner that tastes like it took much longer than 10 minutes to put together!
